No you don't need a fuse and yes you can connect them as long as it's in parallel to keep 12Vl.

ie + ve to +ve (red to red) - ve to -ve (black to black)

BUT if the one battery is in poor nick or is low on charge it will drag the better battery down with it.
It is also advisable to connect like to like ie, 75 amp hour to 75 amp hour
